tick: Add tick skew boot option ...
Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.
Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867:
"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
xtime_lock.
Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
many-core systems."
Problems:
- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
being synchronized.
- SGI reports the same for their large systems.
- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.
- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention
disappeared virtually completely.
